Like most other responsible dog walkers, I carry my own doggie poop bags attached to the handle of my leash (I use a retractable style). I’ve owned three over the years -- all plastic, purchased from pet stores. They’ve been OK, but are a bit heavy and do get in the way.

My son, who lives in Arizona, recently took up rock climbing. He told me about chalk bags, and being the supportive mother I am :), I decided to indulge his desire for a uniquely designed accessory. We collaborated to create just such a bag. Josiah is a professional luthier and quite a perfectionist, so the directions are VERY detailed!
